Lexie you are a good Aunt, do you think you could mention what you and nephew spoke about to his mother in a way that's not going to get her back up?
HAPPY 4th July!
Sandy that's great that you got to speak with him, technology is amazing.

State rules and regs don't always apply to private schools though. They don't to ours...we don't have to have the 180 days the ps has to, teachers don't have to be certified, etc. Best to check with any CS you might want to work at and see what THEY require.
Being on the BOE of the CS, I am part of the hiring process. All other things being equal, yes, certified teachers are preferred. But what we look at more than that is whether the person is competent and qualified to teach what we are hiring them for, whether their teaching style is fit for our school (very small classes...not at all the same as larger ps classes), and most importantly, their Christian walk. Everything else can be in line perfectly but we will not hire someone who is not willing to be held to a high Biblical standard.
I'm glad I could give you some more ideas to think about.

Great pictures, Donna. Your family looks like they had a blast.
We just fooled around in the morning and then in the afternoon cooked for the BBQ with our neighbors. I made deviled eggs, pork ribs, and homemade vanilla ice cream. Today, we are doing stuff around the house. Dh is weeding the front flower bed and I'll be checking on my garden in a few minutes.

Some Christian schools might require you be certified but not necessarily. Most Christian Schools are part of ACSI: Association of Christian Schools International. They have their own certification and accredidation processes and their graduates don't have problems being accepted at secular colleges because of it. Also, even if you are accredited secularly at a CS they won't necessarily require you to take the state mandated continuing education to stay that way. ACSI certification requires continuing education but it is more in the areas of philosophies of Christian education and can generally be met by attending the ACSI teachers' convention every couple years.

I'm curious what you mean by that. Do you go through their house to look for alcohol and Harry Potter? Are certain denominations automatically out?

I am not Donna but my mom and I both work for a Christian school. At ours they don't come inspect your home or anything like that. However, they ask you about your Christian walk. They get a recommendation from your pastor. They might have a code of conduct that they expect of everyone involved in the school: teachers, parents, students that you would have to agree to follow. On the application they ask you what you think about certain topics. This school is an interdenominational school so anyone who was involved in a Protestant church that agreed with their statement of faith would be open for consideration. HERE is a link to the teacher's application. I guess they don't ask anymore what you believed about certain topics but they used to. If there were specific things they were interested in I'm sure it would come up in your interview with the board.
When I was hired they already knew me because of my mom and I was applying for a substitute teacher position (my mom was having surgery and would be out for several weeks). Then I re-interviewed about the extended care position I hold now. That was just a matter of meeting with the woman who ran the program and then clearing it with the headmaster and maybe the board.
